Davis is set on improving his free-throw shooting and playing all 82 games this season, Basketball Insiders reports.

Analysis:

Davis, the recipient of a three-year, $20 million deal this offseason, joined a Blazers squad ripe with playing time. Throughout his career, Davis has exhibited the skills of a traditional center without the requisite size. He played a career-high 81 games three seasons ago, and he's only started 82 games combined in his six-year career. Attempting a career-high 189 free throws last season, Davis shot a career-low 49 percent from the free-throw line, making him a liability late in games. He's a terror on the offensive glass, but his game lacks noticeable holes. He'll compete with Meyers Leonard, Noah Vonleh, and Mason Plumlee for frontcourt minutes, and he'll help any fantasy roster striving solely for field-goal percentage and blocks.
